NFL legend Frank Gore has been hit with an assault charge … after cops say he was involved in a domestic violence incident with a 28-year-old woman last month.

The Atlantic City Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports … back on July 31 at around 8:11 a.m., officers were called to the Tropicana Atlantic City in New Jersey regarding a report of a domestic violence dispute.

Unfortunately, no details about the incident were revealed to the public.

He recently dabbled in boxing–although he lost to Deron Williams in their fight–but this latest incident could affect his future prospects.
